Field Training Structure

Green Corps Assistant Organizing Director Sam Landenwitsch provides one-on-one support, supervision, and feedback to Green Corps trainees.
While the field training portion of the program requires a significant amount of independence, Green Corps provides structure and support to help with each organizers' personal leadership development and create a positive training experience.

Green Corps Organizing Directors provide one-on-one support, supervision, and feedback through weekly phone consultations and site visits during each of the campaigns.

Working with several different campaign partners exposes organizers to a diversity of issues, tactics, and organizations. Green Corps organizers travel to different cities for campaigns, allowing them to work with different communities and constituencies.

"The earth, which is taking a beating at human hands, is awash with people who express concern about it, but there is a drought of people able to organize to stop the abuse. Green Corps prepares university graduates for the essential commitment to end the drought."
